The Old Way is the Best Way.

There's way of slipping, in use before to-
boggan slides were made,
That is quite as good as ever, though it
seems to be now in the shade;
'Tis TO have a horse that's alive and well,
in a sleigh that was built for two,
And the other one there beside yourself the
maid that was made for you.
While your fur -gloved hand just curbs the
steed from the maddest kind of race,
She that you are not yanked over the
dash, and you that she keeps her place.
A cloud of snow-dust close to the ground,
about the horses heels,
Two streaks of snow-foam following fast
the end of the sleigh's curled stees,
While things bv the side of the highway,
in the star-lit winter night
Fit by as f they're ashamed to be seen, and
want to get out of sight.
And the keen air comes with IA virile rush
that tingles little bit
Just cold enough to call up the blood to the
face to welcome it.
With fur-clad bodies and r-capped heads,
and heavily tur-robed knees,
It's the frigidest wight on the coolest night
that in such condition would freeze.
There is frost on the fur about each face,
and the horse seems growing gray,
But the blood is warm and the tongue not
cold, and the steed holds his nimble way.
O'er bridge and meadow and woodland road,
and swift through the city street,
The only sleighs that go by you are the ones
that you chance to meet.
There's brisk delight and a lasting zest
that tobogganing's far beneath,
With it's drop like a slide from a steeple roof,
and it's stop ere you twice can breathe.
And you don't have TO drag your sleigh back
or go home in an ambulance
In fact the old moonlight sleigh ride leads
in safety and romance.
